Anyone who doesn't think strikeouts are overrated, think of this game.

Phillies struck out about 7 times in 4 innings. Also scored 5.

Nice! Is there any way to watch outside of Bally's?
Not sure. I'm in the car listening to it while waiting on wife to get out of work.

What if those strikeouts weren't strikeouts?

Who knows but no one complains if guys are flying out or grounding out. Every single hitter makes more outs than hits.

The point is if you're productive you're productive.

Even if you are flying out there is a chance to move runners. Strikeouts offer no chance for anything positive.

Flyouts lead to something positive way less than people like to imply.

A weak pop out to shallow center doesn't usually lead to anything positive but people don't complain about those.

Most of the time, an out is an out. But if a guy has an .800 OPS I don't really care if he strikes out 200 times.

We have 11 runs now, just FYI. :unsure
